That's correct, Nintendo DSi may have a few 'not so fantastic' features also. But isn't that the same with the Nintendo Wii Fit Bundles also? Probably yes! Remember when the lanyard used to come out of the Nunchuck and people panicked about it?

The Nintendo DSi appears to be a fantastic portable machine that any gamer-on-the-go is sure to cherish and enjoy.  It is being marketed as such: the ultimate handheld gaming system that is all you’ll ever need during those idle parts of the say when time seems to slow down to a crawl, or when you get stuck in a deserted island in the middle of nowhere which, heaven forbid, hopefully won’t happen.

However, is the Nintendo DSi the supreme portable gaming machine that it is being hyped up to be?

In this article, we will explore the positives and negatives of the Nintendo DSi and answer the question of whether or not it is worth the purchase.

The Pros Of The Nintendo DSi

The Nintendo DSi is a significant upgrade to the previous two iterations of the portable console.  It packs enough features to warrant a new model.  These features include:

- Dual cam, with each camera having 0.3 megapixels.  Not only do these cameras add more functionality for the Nintendo DS, they also allow for more game play possibilities that are sure to be integrated in future titles that will be designed specifically for the Nintendo DSi.

- Lighter design.  The Nintendo DSi is 12% lighter than the DS Lite.

- Better audio playback.  Gone are the days when the DS was always criticized for having the softest sounds in all of gaming.  The Nintendo DSi’s audio features are said to rival the best MP3 players in the market today.

- External storage device.  More memory space, more files can be used.
- Faster processing, courtesy of a 16MB RAM which is 4 times faster than the DS and the DS Lite.

- Better online features like improved WiFi connectivity and a DSi store where gamers can download new titles as well as old games from the consoles of yore.

The Cons Of The Nintendo DSi

All is not a bed of roses for the Nintendo DSi, however.  There are a number of negatives plaguing the newest iteration of Nintendo’s flagship handheld system.  These are:

- The absence of the GBA cartridge slot.  Such effectively puts an end to Gameboy and Gameboy Advance backwards compatibility – at least via physical storage – as well as peripherals that rely on the same.

- The two cameras have very low resolutions.  A badly lot environment will only render useless pictures.

- It is, in essence, not really that much different from the DS and the DS Lite.

The Verdict

So, should you or should you not buy a Nintendo DSi?

In a nutshell, the DSi is an evolution rather than a revolution.  It doesn’t intend to change the basic engineering of the DS and the DS Lite.  If it’s not broke, why fix it, right?  The DSi is merely meant to improve on the DS and the DS Lite, and this purpose it does well.

So, if you already have Nintendo DS or a Nintendo DS Lite, stick with them and save your money for the next big handheld console a couple of years down the road.  If you don’t have a Nintendo handheld, then the DSi is the best choice you can ever make.

This is another one that is not necessarily about Nintendo Wii Fit or Wii bundles. But thought some of our readers may like it and thus posted it here.

The Nintendo DSi – the logical evolution to the DS and the DS Lite – is finally here.  This means brighter screens, a lighter and sleeker design, dual cam, better audio playback, an external storage space and faster processing courtesy of a bigger RAM for Nintendo’s flagship handheld.  But do these features matter if the company cannot publish Nintendo DSi games that people will love to get their hands on?

2009 is a pivotal year for video game consoles – handhelds or otherwise.  It’s the chance for that last giant push to be associated with dominance over this decade and for that great head start going to the next.  Hence, there are some big Nintendo DSi games lined up towards the latter part of this year, Nintendo DSi games which the company hopes will capture people’s imagination and gaming dollars.

Here are the 5 Nintendo DSi games that will help define the legacy of the handheld for the decade that’s about to end:

1. Legend of Zelda: Spirit Links.  Indeed, a new Legend of Zelda game is coming to the Nintendo DSi.  Announced during the Game Developers Conference (GDC) 2009, the new Zelda is a direct sequel to the highly acclaimed Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass.  This time, however, Link will be riding trains instead of ships.

2. Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.  Dubbed as a “midquel” to the Kingdom Hearts games, this Nintendo DSi entry promises to connect the first PS2 Kingdom Hearts title with its sequel on the same platform and Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories for the Gameboy Advance.  It’s Disney characters plus Square-Enix characters.  This is one of the few Nintendo DSi games that are sure to be guaranteed hits even before they are released.

3. Front Mission 2089: Border of Madness.  Liked Advance Wars?  It’s time to embrace the newest incarnation of the game’s inspiration.  Front Mission is the pioneer of the sci-fi/military-themed turn-based strategy games this side of Final Fantasy Tactics.  And it’s making a comeback – a big one at that!  The new Front Mission is one of the most eagerly anticipated Nintendo DSi games for this year (or early 2010, if translation takes a little bit longer).  If it’s as good as the SNES entries, then this game is going to be one for the ages!

4. Dragon Quest IX.   The release of Final Fantasy XIII for the Sony PS3 and the Microsoft Xbox 360 is being delayed pending the release of the 9th installment of the game that introduced console RPGs to the world.  Indeed, the newest installment of Dragon Quest is coming to – of all places – the Nintendo DSi!  Such is a testament to how much Square-Enix believes in the Nintendo DSi as a viable and trustworthy gaming platform.  Dragon Quest IX is truly one of the Nintendo DSi games that will define the handheld for many years to come.

5. Guitar Hero 2: Modern Hits.  The first Guitar Hero Mobile has been made incompatible with the new Nintendo DSi, because the upgraded system has done away with the Gamboy cartridge slow which is where the game’s peripheral is inserted.  The sequel promises absolute compatibility with the Nintendo DSi, with the guitar-like add-on to be plugged “somewhere else” on the DSi unit.

Excited about these Nintendo DSi games?  We know we are!

Err…. we may have MASSIVELY exaggerated the title of this post. It you see anything close to this, you have to ALWAYS take it with a grain of salt!

Amazingly, there is only one console game that has been on the top 5 list since its release.  This video game is the Wii Fit for the Nintendo Wii.  Released in May of 2008, the Wii Fit has never been dislodged from the top 5 position in almost all sales charts around the world.  In fact, the Nintendo Wii’s bestselling game has even grabbed the number 1 spot in many occasions when there are no high profile games being released.

One would have to ask, what is it about the Nintendo Wii Fit that makes it such a highly coveted video game title?

The obvious answer?  Many people believe that the Nintendo Wii Fit is something that will help them lose weight and something that will help them enjoy a good and healthy life.

But then again, there is the debacle of Wii Sports, which is bundled with the Nintendo Wii.  Before the release of the Nintendo Wii, many people believed that Wii Sports was a title that will compel them to exert physical effort in an enjoyable way, a process which would surely lead to substantial weight loss and a healthier life.  Such a belief was shattered when an editor of a video game website experimented on Wii Sports by playing it for 2 hours a day for 14 days straight, and recorded a loss of 2 lbs. during that period.

Now, a lot of people are asking: can the Nintendo Wii Fit really help you lose weight?

Much like Wii Sports, the Nintendo Wii Fit comes with a variety of games – or activities – that you can choose to tackle.  These include aerobics, jogging, strength conditioning exercises, balance exercises and even yoga.  More activities can be unlocked by accomplishing particular goals in the core games.

The centerpiece of the Nintendo Wii Fit is the balance board that comes with it.  The user is to step on this board, and the board will measure how much weight will be placed on each feet.  Such will correspond to the motion on screen.  Many people say that the balance board is actually more accurate than the motion sensing capabilities of the Wiimote.

This is the Nintendo Wii Fit in a nutshell.

But can it help you lose weight?

Experts say that yes, the Nintendo Wii Fit can help you lose weight… if you’ll take its activities seriously and if you’ll religiously observe the routines which the software prescribes.

The exercises included with the Nintendo Wii Fit are, by no means, comprehensive.  Nothing can beat a specialized program developed by an expert.  Nevertheless, the Nintendo Wii Fit can boast of something that other workout regiments cannor…

It can provided the motivation you need to actually go through the workout plans.

The exercises are still presented as video games which you should beat for appropriate rewards.  This challenge can be very fun and enticing, and it is something that gym works or other fitness activities won’t be able to replicate.  And here lies the beauty of the Nintendo Wii Fit as a weight loss device: you can actually work up some sweat without getting bored to tears.

As you know, we are all about Nintendo. To be more specific we are about Nintendo Wii Fit and even out of Wii Fit, we specialize in Wii Bundles. However, that doesn't mean that we are biased towards Nintendo. This article basically walks you through different gaming consoles and shows you which gaming console you should choose.

Many people believe that the current generation of consoles provides the most evenly matched competition from the products released by the big entertainment companies in the history of video games.  The disparity in terms of processing power and depth of game libraries isn’t that big when it comes to the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3.  And though the Nintendo Wii is gravely trailing in the graphics and processing power departments, it more than makes up for its shortcomings by giving gamers a unique experience they will never find anywhere else.

And gamers have made a decision.  As of this writing, almost 3 years worth of sales data reveal that the Nintendo Wii is outselling the Xbox 360 and the PS3 combined.

Why would people choose the Nintendo Wii – a console which is based on the exact engineering that powered the older Nintendo Gamecube – over technological powerhouses like the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3?  Here are some compelling reasons for such a decision:

- The Nintendo Wii boasts of a motion sensing system that tracks the movement of the remote control, aptly called the Wiimote.  This allows for a variety of gaming possibilities.  Instead of pressing button X to have your knight slash some ghouls and goblins, you can instead make a slashing motion with the Wiimote.  Instead of pressing the left and right trigger for left and right jabs in a boxing game, you can instead hold the Wiimote and its add-on, the Nunchuck, and simulate punching motions.  The Nintendo Wii’s motion sensing technology makes gaming an even more immersive experience.

- The Nintendo Wii has a stable of proven exclusives.  In fact, of all 3 major video gaming companies, Nintendo has the most number of original properties that has amassed a very big following worldwide.  Brands like Mario, Metroid, Zelda, Pokemon, Animal Crossing and Donkey Kong are among the most recognizable properties in the world today, and their games can only be found on a Nintendo system.

- The Nintendo Wii’s new approach to gaming appeals to casual players who may have never touched a video game before.  Motion controlled games are more appealing for everyone, and they are more accessible than conventional controllers.

- The Nintendo Wii’s design technology allows for software programs that are more than just games.  The best selling Wii Fit is a prime example of this.  The Nintendo Wii allows software programs to focus on fitness regimes, weight loss programs, point-and-click applications and the likes.

- The Nintendo Wii is way more affordable than the other consoles, though with recent price cuts, the Xbox 360 is also a viable option price-wise.

- The Nintendo Wii is more durable than other consoles, particularly the Xbox 360 which is plagued by problems regarding general hardware failure (3 red lights, or 3RL).

The bottom line?  Whereas the PS3 and the Xbox 360 appeal to hardcore gamers, the Nintendo Wii appeals to a broader audience.  If you want your console, and your games for that matter, to be enjoyed by more number of people, then the Nintendo Wii is your best bet. If you don't have all the components of your Nintendo Wii, you should probably go for a Nintendo Wii Fit Bundle and that is bound to save you a ton of money.

As you know, our website is all about Wii Fit Bundles. However we also talk about other gaming consoles such as Nintendo DS, Microsoft XBox 360 as well as Sony PSP. This one is about the Nintendo DS and hope you enjoy the break from Nintendo Wii Fit Bundles and Wii Fit Plus Balance Boards!

So, you've got a Nintendo. Great News! Now, get ready to experience the fun, enjoyment as well as flexibility associated with gaming-on-the-go. You are no more tide down towards the limited part of the Television set. You are no more limited by places where there will be electric power. “Home gaming” is becoming a good option instead of an important expression. Now you can enjoy your chosen video games throughout the bus, while going shopping, or while caught in a traffic jam (assuming of course you are not necessarily driving, obviously).

Owning a Nintendo DS is a wonderful experience. What can make the experience even more fantastic? By pampering your unit with a slew of Nintendo DS accessories, of course!

What are the “must have” Nintendo DS accessories? Here are 6 of them:

1. Spare stylus, or styluses. Almost 70% of Nintendo DS owners lose the styluses that come with their systems on the first year of owning the same. Hence, additional styluses are necessary Nintendo DS accessories these days. Some games won’t even function without a stylus.

2. Screen protector. You must double your effort to protect screen damage on your unit, mainly because the Nintendo DS has two screens. The slightest, seemingly harmless accident can cause some dead pixels or a suddenly unresponsive screen when touched by the stylus. One of the primary Nintendo DS accessories you should purchase is a pair of screen or LCD protectors. Buy a pair that is especially made for the Nintendo DS for accurate dimensions and to avoid cutting the plastic protector yourself.

3. Leather case protector. This will serve as the second skin for your Nintendo DS. Such an added exterior will provide more protection for your unit, so that when you inadvertently drop the same, it will have a higher chance of surviving the fall.

4. Travel wallet/bag. Your Nintendo DS is most susceptible to accidents when you’re on the go, which would be often since the DS is a portable machine. When not in use, put the DS inside a travel wallet or a travel bag that is especially designed for its size and make.

5. Earphones. Though the Nintendo DS and the Nintendo DS Lite’s sounds are horrendous, such will be remedied by the upcoming Nintendo DSi. However, for owners of older versions, the barely audible sound can be made louder via earphones. For serious gamers-on-the-go, earphones aren’t just optional Nintendo DS accessories. They are mandatory Nintendo DS accessories!

6. Game cartridge case. Your games need protection too. More importantly, putting them inside a game cartridge case will help you know where they are. You won’t believe how easy it is to lose those SD card games.

Look forward to our next article on gaming consoles. It may be on the Wii Fit Bundle, Balance Board or even the Xbox360. It's a surprise!

It looks like Nintendo Wii Fit prices are finally back to almost normal. On amazon.com as well as other online retailers, you can find the following items for the following prices as of July 3rd 2010

1. Nintendo Wii Fit Bundle – $312 + Shipping
2. Nintendo Wii Fit Balance Board – $99
3. Nintendo Wii Console – $199

It's great that these prices came down close to the July 4th holiday. Anybody planning to take advantage of the long weekend yet stay at home with a new console game, this would have been a great deal. After all, why pay a ton more, if you can get it for the regular price right?

In case you are looking for Nintendo Wii Bundle without the Wii console, you can surely get it for much cheaper than that. A 5-in-1 Wii Fit Bundle that has the mat, socks, gloves, balance board cover etc start at as little as $26. Whatever it may be that you are looking to purchase, it's always a good idea to go check out Amazon.com because they offer free shipping on anything above $25.

But this is not the same case with other online stores such as Buy.com or even Walmart.com. Although Walmart offers free site to store shipping it takes quite a while for this free shipping to work out. I've had to wait over 2 weeks for some of these shipments to come to my local store.

Taking all these into consideration, it's probably a better idea to go with Amazon whichever the Wii Fit Bundle you may be planning to buy.

Thank you for visiting our website Wii Fit Bundle. Before talking about Wii Fit Bundles, let's talk a little bit about Nintendo Wii in general.

As you may be already aware of, Nintendo Wii was the hottest selling game last Christmas. Its sales beat the previous record also set by a video gaming console from Nintendo, the Nintendo DS. There is absolutely no doubt that Nintendo Wii Fit is extremely popular in the USA and world over among people of all ages.

If you are completely new to Nintendo Wii, then you cannot start to play without buying a Nintendo Wii Console. This is the most expensive piece of equipment. Together with the Wii Console and Wii remote controller you will be off to playing Wii Games in no time. However if you want to play Wii Fit Games, then you need to get yourself a Wii Fit balance Board also.

If you already have a Nintendo Wii Console and you want to start on Wii Fit, then you only need to get a Wii Fit Balance Board to get you started. However, if you don't have a Wii console and want to join the 'Wii Fit' club, you have the option of either picking individual components or buying a whole Wii Fit Bundle.

Nintendo Wii Fit Bundles come in all shapes and sizes. For example, a basic or starter Wii Fit Bundle may only have the balance board and the console whereas the most sophisticated Wii Fit Bundle can have many additional components. We cover various types of Wii Fit Bundles from the different online stores mentioned above.

We have typically seen that Amazon offers the best price for Wii Fit Balance Boards and Wii Consoles while DDRGame offers the widest variety of Wii Fit Bundles. Amazon and Walmart also offer a basic type of a Wii Fit Bundle, but we have also seen that these Wii bundles tend to go out of stock not too long after they become 'in stock'. This is especially true with regard to Buy.com, Walmart.com and GameStop.com at the time of writing this post. The great thing about Amazon.com is that almost always you can find a Free Shipping deal.
